Why is it that Stateside retail uses pre-sales tax prices?

Asked by Nullo (22009points) June 22nd, 2010

Product A is $4.57, but you get it to the register and end up paying $5.48 for it. You were going to be charged $5.48 in the first place, and you knew that it would be something like that.

What’s the point of not simply posting the plus-tax cost? Marketing? Variability?
